.GIF Files?

[ILuvBMW]

How can I make the funky tiny short repetitive video clips that some of you guys use as avatars? I think they are called .GIF file, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance!

Yes they are GIFs, animated GIFs to be exact. You'd need some sort of advanced image editing program such as Photoshop.

Oh well... I guess Paint isnt considered a "advanced image editing program". Thanks anyways!

You could draw something in paint, save the frames into a folder. Then use some program to compile the frames into an animation.

Theres a gif animator thing in MS Image Composer that works pretty good.

Would I have Image Composer on XP?

Not sure if your asking of you have it by "defualt", like, it's installed with windows, or if you could have it, it doesn't come with windows, I could send you the file and crack and you can install it though.

 

[ILuvBMW]

Yeah I just ran a search for it and it didn't show up, so if you don't mind could you send me the file? I'll send you a PM.

There are no cracks for Image Composers and you cannot download them. I think they are extinct. Anna can rip it off the CD and email it to you or something.

ya find a program that can make them for you.
you just get all the images in sequence and place them in the gif and the program compiles it.
i use paint shop pro 6. look at www.download.com or have someone here recommend one a program and find it on kazaa

If the file is a little too large you can email it to me and I will upload it for you.
